Marco Rubio, Gen-X Fraud

[DemocratSinceBirth]

On the surface, Marco Rubio is such a perfect 2016 Republican nominee you might think he was created in a lab. He ticks off all the demographic boxes that the GOP has struggled with for the past decade: A young (43) Latino who likes Tupac! He is adept with social media, talks like a person who watches the same dumb TV as you, and is pleasantly self-deprecatory when the occasion calls for it. Pundits and consultants are giddy with the prospect of a “generational choice” between Rubio and the rest of the field—not to mention Hillary Clinton.

Analysts aren’t wrong to suppose that a race against Rubio, in either the primary or the general, will expose a generational fault line. But it’s far from certain that Rubio will be one with the youth vote on his side.

Take away Rubio’s biography and look at his positions and he becomes less the voice of his generation and more Benjamin Button. If I told you about a candidate that was anti-marriage equality, anti-immigration reform (for now), anti-pot decriminalization, pro-government surveillance, and in favor of international intervention but against doing something about climate change, what would you guess the candidate’s age to be? On all of those issues, Rubio’s position is not the one shared by most young people. The Guardian dubbed him the “John McCain of the millennial set,” which isn’t fair to McCain, who at least has averred that climate change exists.

...



As far attracting young voters, Rubio’s campaign will probably go about as well as most old-people-try-to-guess-what-the-young-people-want strategies go. Marco Rubio is the GOP’s Cousin Oliver, a desperate gimmick by the out-of-touch to spark interest in a moribund brand. That Rubio is a gleeful participant in this exercise makes his distance from the actual dreams and desires of this country’s young people all the more apparent.

He opposes glbtq rights, wants to throw the poor on the streets, and believes climate change is of no moment. Now that's a platform that will appeal to young people.

2. He'd get more votes (with silly people) substituting cheerleader-wife & movie star ex-brother-in-law

instead of talking about issues. The ex-bro is Carlos PONCE, the Yoga instructor from Couples Retreat.

[font size=5]Love Reunions We Want: Veronica Rubio and Carlos Ponce[/font]
Que pareja mas bella! Carlos and his ex-wife Veronica, who also happens to be Sen. Marco Rubio’s sister, were high school sweethearts. The couple married in October 1996 and had four kids together – two boys and twin girls. Sadly, the two Miamians divorced in 2009. But how lovely would it be to see this family together again?
